What caught my eye on this was not only the beautiful rendition of the eclipse, but the turquoise at the top of the big wave. That color always reminds me of Our Lady. There she is in the light of the Son. The painter may not have had that in mind, but, hey, Jesus wants His mother loved and seen in His light so, why not? Thanks for this lovely painting. I know I am always going to enjoy visiting you.

"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
